false <![CDATA[The Gold Coast]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168465640m/33813.jpg 33813 17 Welcome to the fabled Gold Coast, that stretch on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America. Here two men are destined for an explosive collision: John Sutter, Wall Street lawyer, holding fast to a fading aristocratic legacy; and Frank Bellarosa, the Mafia don who seizes his piece of the staid and unprepared Gold Coast like a latter-day barbarian chief and draws Sutter and his regally beautiful wife, Susan, into his violent world. Told from Sutter's sardonic--and often hilarious--point of view, and laced with sexual passion and suspense, The Gold Coast is Nelson DeMille's captivating story of friendship and seduction, love and betrayal. 1603282 1006 The Gold Coast total:2625|5:795|4:982|3:662|2:143|1:43| 2625 10218 3289 310 5 4 false false Sun Jul 06 19:43:44 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 19:45:10 -0700 2008 gold coast of long island with some mafia ties - I love love love this book and have read it like 6 times.more...]]> 5 3 false false Mon Jan 07 22:02:13 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 07 22:09:49 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Tue Oct 02 17:56:39 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 02 17:56:39 -0700 2007

It was just okay. It needed some major editing. A whole lot of that book could have been cut out so that it didn't have to reach 400 pages.
